Do you need some more height on your SkyView Pro Mount? The Orion SkyView Pro Telescope Mount Extension raises the head of the mount 16" making it ideal for refractor use. It includes connecting plates and hardware.

orion skyview pro mount extension.

ok, this definitly adds some weight and makes the mount a little difficult to carry.after you have put it together, it is easier to remove the top 3 or bottom 3 screws to remove the tube and head of the mount and there fore makes it easier to carry. only takes a minute to remove the screws and then put it back together.saves the back from hurting. love the extra height it gives, not only for refractors, but make`s viewing through my 25x100 giant binos. so much more easy on the neck and back. for those of you who own a celestron cg-5 mount, this will work with it.i own both the cg-5 and a svp mount. so if you don`t mind a little more weight and you need more height then i say you won`t go wrong getting this extension. thanks orion for making my viewing more enjoying.

The Celestron SkyMaster 25x100 binocular offers big-binocular performance at a great price! Huge 100mm multi-coated lenses let in lots of light, and 25x magnification provides high resolution views of both astronomical and terrestrial targets.

Well I have to say they are worth every penny. day time viewing is very crisp and clear. night time view`s are just as good. very good product.just make sure you have at least a heavy duty tripod.these bino`s are a bit on the heavy side.

This green laser pointer bracket first of all is a very quality made product. easy to put together.if you have several scopes with the same mounting base then you can transfer it from scope to scope. so if you are thinking that you would like to use your laser pointer insted of a finder scope then this is the answer.you can`t go wrong with orion products.

I first bought this scope just for viewing, and the views are very good, even right out of the box. but after putting my Cannon XTi DSLR on it for some prime focus photography I was very pleased with the shots,so know if I dont want to set up my other scope and photography gear I know I have a really nice back- up. SO LETS SEE,1. small and light weight enough to take any where.2. very affordable.3.nice optics. thank you orion.

This Orion 203mm Reflector optical tube is perfect for those intermediate observers who already own an equatorial mount. Use the included camera adapter and attach this to your favorite DSLR or CCD camera to begin your astrophotography journey.

WELL I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS AWESOME SCOPE, UNTIL NOW THE LARGEST SCOPE I HAVE EVER OWNED OR EVEN LOOKED THROUGH WAS A 6" REFLECTOR AND THE DIFFERENCE WAS "WOW" THE VIEWS ARE NOTHING SHORT OF "WOW". THE ONLY THING I HAVE A GRIPE ABOUT (BUT ONLY A LITTLE ONE) IS I HAD TO ORDER THE EXTENSION SO I CAN USE MY CANON DSLR FOR SHOOTING IMAGES. SO I SAY, WAY TO GO ORION, GREAT SCOPE. DID I MENTION THE VIEWS ARE "WOW".
